using parentheses
|
I'm trying to write aliases/variables that will send text enclosed in parentheses to the MUD. The problem is that CMUD recognizes () as values, and thus removes them from the text. e.g. I want to send "(Flashy)" but get "Flashy" Is there a way to work around this? If I just type (Flashy) into the command line it will be sent as is......

you need to quote them out with a tilde '~'
or encapsulate the command you want to send in a #SENDRAW command |

ok, so the parentheses show, but now the '~' or '#SENDRAW' shows up in the command. Is there a way to hide those but still have them function?

#SENDRAW {say (loudly) hi}
say ~(loudly~) hi |
